"The way I think and the way I talk and the way I write is not always very direct. It can lead anywhere. But in the writing I want it to be as fluent as possible. A major part of my work, of what I want to bring to it myself (almost like an athlete would exercise his muscles and do the same moves) is to get to the point where it becomes almost instinctive and where you react to something that’s thrown at you out of the blue, and you make the right step for every situation."

"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."
